Summary
Jon Decamp is a culinary entrepreneur and CEO & Founder of JMD Culinary Consulting with 13 years of professional experience building sustainable, organic-focused food programs and private dining experiences. He rose through kitchens at award-winning Chicago restaurants—holding Executive Chef and Chef de Cuisine roles—and led Crust to USDA organic certification by overhauling operations, training staff, and implementing organic purchasing systems. Jon combines hands-on cooking (still working as a chef) with operational rigor in inventory, cost and labor control, and menu and restaurant design. He consults on restaurant buildouts, menu development, and outdoor grilling specializations while running private events and catering that emphasize eco-friendly practices. Based in Seattle, he brings a track record of translating sustainability commitments into profitable, repeatable processes and a knack for repurposing excess product to reduce waste and boost margins.
